Why Not Mother?

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

When we refer to G‑d's presence within our world, giving life to all things, then She is the Shechina.

When we refer to G‑d's transcendence beyond this world, we call Him "The Holy One, blessed be He."

In our prayers, we take the role of the Shechina petitioning the Holy One, blessed be He.

Our mitzvahs, study and prayer unite these two aspects of G‑d into a perfect whole. This is the meaning of the phrase, "On that day, G‑d will be One and His name will be One."

Eureka!

This is a Eureka kind of dose. So simply and beautifully described! Many thanks to Rabbi Freeman, for the wisdom provided.

Does this mean that...

Does this mean that between the first night of Rosh Hashanah and the sounding of Shofar next morning, we are only with Shechinah and completely "without" Him, only to have Him back to near us with the sounding of Shofar, until our last chance in Sukkot when He retreats again?

Does this mean that only by leaving us only with Shechinas presence, He, blessed be He, can evaluate our deeds?

Does this mean that is mostly to Shechinah, blessed be He/She, that we have to deal in our mundane struggles, being with Him mostly only in the month of Elul untill Sukkot, when He is at the camp to receive overtly us all (except for these few hours between eve and the sounding of Shofar in Rosh HaShanah)?
